A dull or chipped tub in Olney does not need a demolition crew. It needs one technician, one day and a sprayed finish that shines.
One number reaches the technician who would hold the gun. The figure comes on the call, not after a visit.
(866) 951-0558The voice on the line belongs to the trade, not to a switchboard reading a script. Two minutes of plain description are enough to price a standard tub.
Your old tub looks like a relic from a forgotten decade because of those ugly stains and scratches.
Replacing it completely will cost you thousands of dollars and create a massive mess in your home.
Fortunately, we can restore that worn-out surface to a brilliant shine for a fraction of the cost.
Think about the dust and chaos of a full demolition project.
This headache disappears when you choose to renew the existing surface instead of ripping it out.
You get a sparkling clean look without the stress of hiring plumbers and tile installers.
Local homeowners often struggle with outdated colors like harvest gold or dusty rose.
We can transform those eyesores into a modern white oasis in just one day.
That beautiful finish will make you actually want to take a bath again.
First, we clean the old surface with specialized industrial cleaners to remove decades of soap scum.
This step is crucial because any leftover oils will ruin the bond of the new coating.
We take our time here to ensure the foundation is absolutely perfect.
Next, we repair any deep chips or rust spots that have developed over the years.
Which means we fill those blemishes with a tough polyester putty and sand it completely flat.
You will never even know those damaged spots were there in the first place.
After that, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that chemically welds the new finish to the old porcelain.
This secret weapon ensures the new coating will not peel or flake off after a few months.
Our system creates a molecular bond that stands up to daily wear and tear.
Finally, we spray several coats of a high-tech acrylic urethane topcoat using professional HVLP equipment.
This material cures into an incredibly hard glass-like surface that looks identical to brand new porcelain.
You get a gorgeous gloss that is very easy to keep clean.
Consider the actual cost of buying a new fixture and hiring a contractor to install it.
The final bill often skyrockets because old pipes break during the demolition phase.
Choosing our surface restoration service keeps your hard-earned money in your wallet.
On top of that, the entire process takes less than eight hours from start to finish.
Your bathroom remains fully functional throughout the week except for the short curing period.
This convenience is a lifesaver for busy families with only one restroom.
Furthermore, you do not have to worry about matching your existing wall tiles or flooring.
A replacement often forces you to remodel the entire room because of footprint differences.
We preserve your current layout while completely upgrading the centerpiece of the room.
Let us look at a quick comparison of your options to make the choice even easier:
| Project Factor | Full Replacement | Surface Restoration |
|---|---|---|
| Typical Cost | Very High ($3,000 - $8,000) | Very Affordable |
| Time to Complete | One to two weeks of mess | Done in a single day |
| Mess and Dust | Extreme construction debris | Virtually none |
| Life Expectancy | Decades | 10 to 15 years with proper care |
Once we finish our magic, you must treat the surface with a little bit of respect.
Avoid using harsh abrasive powders or steel wool pads that can scratch the glossy topcoat.
Simple dish soap and a soft sponge will keep it looking brand new for years.
Another smart tip is to avoid leaving wet washcloths sitting on the bottom of the tub.
Moisture trapped underneath items for weeks can slowly weaken the chemical bond over time.
A quick rinse and wipe down after use will prevent any issues.
Also, please do not use those cheap suction cup bath mats on your fresh finish.
The constant pulling action of those little cups can eventually damage the new glaze.
We can actually apply a permanent non-slip texture to the bottom during our process instead.

Three quiet stages carry the whole result. They are also the ones nobody sees in the after photo.
Stage 1 of 3
A reglaze fails or lasts on what happens before the gun comes out. The old surface gets scrubbed of soap film and silicone, etched or primed so the new material has something to grip, then wet sanded until it feels like fine paper. Skip any of that and the prettiest coat in the world lets go within a year, which is exactly the story most peeling tubs tell us.
Stage 2 of 3
Chips, rust blooms and worn drain rings are ground back to sound material and rebuilt with polyester filler, then sanded flush until a fingertip cannot find the spot. Coating over damage only photographs well on day one; a repair you cannot feel is what keeps the finish honest for years.
Stage 3 of 3
The topcoat goes on in fine sprayed passes with an extractor pulling air out the window the whole time. Sprayed layers flow together into one even skin, which is why the result reads as gloss rather than as paint. Brushes and rollers leave the texture that gives cheap refinishing its reputation.
Three real ways out of a worn tub. We only do the first one, so the other two columns are simply what we would tell a friend.
| The question | Reglazing in place | Acrylic liner | Full replacement |
|---|---|---|---|
| What a standard tub costs | $350 to $800 | $1,600 to $4,000 | $3,000 to $10,000 once walls and plumbing join in |
| Bathroom out of action | One day, then the cure | Weeks of lead time, then a fitting day | One to two weeks of trades |
| Demolition involved | None at all | None, but the old tub is sealed inside | Walls opened, floor patched, debris hauled |
| Honest life expectancy | Five years and up when cared for | Long, unless water creeps between the shells | Decades |
| Watch out for | Prep shortcuts by cut-rate crews | A spongy feel and hidden moisture | The budget doubling mid-project |
If your tub is cracked through, actively leaking underneath, or you simply want a different fixture, reglazing is the wrong tool, a verdict you will hear on the very first call.
Pass 1
Soap scum, silicone and old wax stripped, then the surface etched or bonded so the coating can bite.
Pass 2
Every ding ground out, filled and sanded flush. The repairs disappear under the coating instead of through it.
Pass 3
Tile, faucet, floor and glass papered off. Overspray lands on masking paper, never on grout or chrome.
Pass 4
Primer, then gloss coats laid on in thin passes until the surface reads as one poured skin.
Pass 5
The finish hardens on its own clock, 24 to 48 hours. We tape the door and leave the tub in peace.
Pass 6
Old caulk goes out with the old finish. A new mildew-resistant bead seals tub to tile on the way out.
A reglazed tub is your old tub wearing a professional coating. That is a fine thing to be, as long as everyone knows it going in.
A sprayed acrylic urethane skin, bonded to prepared porcelain, steel or fiberglass. It is smooth, glossy, warm to the touch and fully waterproof. Done properly it gives five years and more of daily service, and plenty of our tubs sail well past that with nothing but gentle cleaning.
It is not factory enamel fired onto iron at kiln temperatures, and no honest refinisher will tell you otherwise. It can be scratched by grit, dulled by harsh powders and lifted by standing water in a spot where caulk has failed. It is a durable coating, not a new tub, and it is priced like one.
Two minutes
ZIP, what the tub is made of, what bothers you about it. Said out loud it goes faster than typing, and a photo can follow later if the case is odd.
The same call
The technician who would do the work asks his questions and names a firm figure for a standard job, then confirms it in writing before any van is booked.
You set the date
One van, one technician, drop cloths from the front door to the bathroom. Water off for nothing; only the tub is out of service.
Most of that day
Damage filled and sanded, the room masked, extractor running, then the primer and gloss coats go on in thin, even passes.
24 to 48 hours
The finish hardens untouched, the new caulk bead goes in, and you run the first bath knowing exactly what was done and what to expect of it.
| What we quote | Typical range | Reading the number |
|---|---|---|
| Standard bathtub, reglazed complete | $350 - $800 | Clean, etch, repairs, sprayed gloss and fresh caulk. |
| Chip or rust repair alone | $150 - $300 | When the finish is sound and only one wound needs closing. |
| Clawfoot tub, inside and out | $700 - $1,300 | Two surfaces, more masking, and paint-grade feet if you wish. |
| Shower pan or base | $300 - $550 | Same process on the floor you stand on every morning. |
| Caulk renewal with the job | $90 - $180 | Old bead cut out, mildew-resistant line laid in. |
| Small job minimum | around $250 | The van, the materials and the cure time exist even for tiny work. |
Heavy previous coatings that must be stripped, unusual colors and badly pitted iron push a job toward the top of its bracket. The written price reaches you before the van is even loaded, and it holds.
Ventilation is not a courtesy, it is part of the job. The extractor runs from the first solvent wipe to the last sprayed pass, pulling air out the window instead of through your hallway, and the technician wears supplied air even when the household has gone out for the day. By the evening the bathroom smells like a bathroom again.
The materials are the professional two-part systems made for this trade, mixed fresh on site, never the single-can kits sold next to the paint rollers. It is the difference between a finish that cures into a hard skin and one that stays soft enough to peel at the drain within a season, and it is most of the reason our work carries a written workmanship promise against peeling and loss of adhesion.
And the schedule respects the cure. We tell you in writing when the tub goes back into service, 24 hours for most jobs and 48 for the cautious ones, because handing a family a beautiful surface and letting them ruin it that same night helps nobody. If anything in our workmanship lets go early, the technician comes back and makes it right without a discussion about whose fault the water was.
Strong while spraying, gone surprisingly fast. The extractor vents the room to the outside for the whole job around Olney, so the rest of the home stays livable, and by the next morning the odor has left with the fumes. Pregnant households and bird owners get the frank version of this talk before booking.
Between 24 and 48 hours after the final coat, and the exact time is written on the paperwork you keep. The first bath is not a gamble; it is a date.
Any color. The most common request is retiring an avocado, pink or almond tub to white, and the coating is tinted before it is sprayed, so the new color is in the material rather than painted over it.
Yes. The prep changes, the primer changes, the result reads the same. Fiberglass with soft, flexing spots gets extra reinforcement talk first, because coating a moving floor is how warranties die.
Now the old coating comes fully off, which is honest work we price plainly, and then the job proceeds as if the tub had never been touched. Peeling almost always means the first crew skipped the etch or sprayed over silicone, not that your tub rejects coatings.
Five years is the floor we are comfortable promising out loud, not the ceiling. With soft cleaners, no standing mats and caulk kept sound, these finishes routinely serve a decade. What we refuse to do is whisper twenty and hope you lose our number.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
